Cultural Insight: Body vs. Hands in Chinese

In Chinese culture, the hands are considered an extension of the body and are often included when referring to body parts. For example, instead of just saying “head, shoulders, knees, and toes,” the Chinese would say “head, shoulders, hands, knees, and toes.” This cultural perspective influences the language and how body parts are described.
